Hee - those are three of my own personal favorite stories...not sure what I can say about them that I haven't said already, though!
Pern I'll hold off until I've at least completed the 3rd story. Regarding "Fake Birds..." I wish we'd gotten to see Ronon with Madison in the show, because it would've been adorable. Also, they took a chartered plane from and to Colorado Springs, so John can pilot - either because he hates being a passenger in flight, or because he wanted an excuse to fly; probably a bit of both. And yes, they totally go to Dave's for American Thanksgiving, and maybe let a few things slip that should've remained classified, so Dave doesn't exactly know what's going on, but has a few guesses, if he allows himself to believe them, which he doesn't always...
"Kuro to Ao" - there's a lot of random details of Japanese mythology and culture in the story that I didn't specifically note. Rodney lives on the southwestern slope because he and John live on the mountain to the northeast of the town, because in Chinese and Japanese geomancy, that's an unlucky direction, where demons will enter from. Shogi is Japanese chess, pretty much; and mah-jongg, like bridge, is a 4-person game, so ideal for the team. ...and so on; I could do an annotated version twice as long as the actual fic!
